Want to buy a Stanley/Baily jointer plane #7 pre WW2

Does anyone know of anyone that might have a Stanley/Baily jointer plane #7 pre WW2 for sale? I don’t mind doing some fettle work on it. I am wanting one in good shape that I can fettle and tune for daily use. Not looking for a collector’s item or anything, but not wanting junk either. Just a good user.

On ebay all I see is either complete junk or $200+ overpriced collector planes.

Anyone have suggestions on where I should look? I bought my last 2 planes from a user here (Fridge) and they were exactly what I needed. If I can find a good jointer I should have the basics covered with bench planes.

Hi Gambrell, where are you located? I have a couple of older stanley #7’s and an old Ohio Tools #7 as well. I just started cleaning up one of the Stanley’s last week and have another that I’m using as my daily user. Was thinking of selling the Stanley’s and cleaning up the Ohio Tools one for myself. PM me an email address if you’re interested in any of them and I’ll take some photos for you. These cost about $35 to $40 to ship which adds a fair chunk to the price which is why I ask where you are located.

If you picked up a #6 from Fridge, you should be fine without a #7 in the near term. Even a #5 can joint in a pinch. Maybe consider making a shooting board and hitting antique shops and flea markets in search of tools to restore for future use.
